"This study of Newton's philosophy is interesting as being the
account of a close friend. The preface contains the author's
recollections of Newton, especially in his old age. There is also a
poem on Sir Isaac by Richard Glover written in his 16th year; the
author's introduction on Newton's method of reasoning in
philosophy; and a long list of subscribers" (Babson).

This handsome book was the first to be printed in any of Caslon's
roman types and may mark the first appearance of his Great Primer
roman, his second roman type. Palmer announced the publication of
Pemberton's book in the Daily Journal of January 3, 1728: "I hope
the subscribers will pardon the Delay and the rather since I waited
Half a Year for the making of a new Font of Types" (see James
Mosley's article in the Journal of the Printing Historical
Society 3:74 [1967]).
